[Kernel][CM11/.13]Vatsal's Kernel v3 - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hello guys,
After roaming around almost a year and half around xda, doing something fruitful
Here i present my first CM11 based kernel,
Disclaimer : You installed Kernel ,on your device ,I am not responsible .
If you installed kernel ,on a device ,without reading instructions ,I don't give a Damn !
Warning : I don't support Nandroid Restore
Attempting to use Nandroid Restore can lead to a perma brick .
Consider Nandroid to be permanently broken on this kernel.
Features :
100 mb shrinked from system to /data (For more internal memory ofcourse )
cache reduced to 8mb
Some touch tweaking (11 mb more ram Thanks @Dark Raven )
Toolchain used:
Linaro 4.7 by @Wedgess
Unique Feature
Modified partition layout which works flawless as far as my knowledge .
One Layout is maintains original system Layout ,The rest of 5 layouts come with Modified System Layout .
All Kernels have 8 MB cache partition so by default roughly 90MB bump in /Data is seen .
The best results with latest LX builds
-CM11.0-
Changelog:
Code:
V3
-- 201401227--
Reclaimed 60 mb more space
Same as LX 20140122 LX CM11 build
V2
-- 201401227--
Reclaimed 6 mb more space
Same as LX 20140122 LX CM11 build
V1
-- 20140122 --
Like in 20140122 LX CM11.0 build.
Steps to be followed:
Flash kernel (boot.img)
Boot to recovery, do all the wipes (data, cache, system, dalvik)
flash the rom zip
flash the minimal gapps if u want (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48535200&postcount=4)
boot
Note:
1) If you donot format system the rom wont boot even if your on same rom with different kernel. SO its mandatory
2) Flashing the whole gapps will result in a bootloop as i have shrinked a good amount of system size (~100mb)
3) You can run ART well but please donot report issues if your running ART as it is experimental (mike already said that)

Sorry if i forgot someone personally, please PM me.

So just for fun , i removed camera from kernel (29mb more ram). I dont use my neo v to capture photos so i am fine without camera. hence i made this with help of @Attitude.SSJ . Everything works as per above kernel by me and it has same features except camera (since i removed it ). clicking on camera in appdrawer wil give fc i hope you understand why. i would strongly recommend this kernel only when u dont need camera or you dont use it and Incase anyone is Freeram-freak like me can use this version. Download in the second post.
Enjoy!

Wow! Let's try!
I've tried with the LX Stock Kernels and Dark Raven Kernel and in only 2 days i've downgrade to JB (4.1.2) or ICS Roms cause a high battery drain by kernel wakelocks

Thank you. Let me know how it goes. Read instructions well before going ... Full wipe Compulsory. Good luck. Happy flashing!
Cheers,
Vatsal

Good work @koradiavatsal
Just my 2 cents
If you cant boot in recovery after flashing kernel then go back to fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
and reboot device

Just a small correction... It frees 29mb ram not 19... 29 feels better than 19

Great work @koradiavatsal :good: I hope people enjoys your kernel with extended data partition

@koradiavatsal a step forward always good, all the best we can expect more from you now onwards

nandroid restore will cause perma brick? thats a bit too dangerous.
i think no nandroid backup/restore support is useless for me as im always backuping my system in case i mess it up.

anyways, great kernel. looking forward to its future updates.

Great Work Vattu
It is powering my friend's Neo V now
Thanks for your contribution

Good Work ,Vatsal..Way to go..Keep up your good work..Nice to see you develop something..

Yeah.. Get those partitions to 1gb.. jokes apart , this can be the best kernel if you want to have a taste of kitkat like the higher end phones.. great work..

nice kernel, porting to other devices

Awesome idea of increased internel memory and optional No-Camera!
Can turn to be a revolutionary Kitkat Kernel :good:

[Kernel] SEtweak

So, preview of SEtweak (pre1) is out!
It's quite incomplete, without Synaptics DT, not netfilter and OC. I also forgot to enable NTFS, sorry
Just a proof of concept for those unwilling to unlock bootloader.
X8gesture will insmod fine.
Cypress users: remove DT module because this kernel already includes it!
Includes CIFS and tun - who need it, will know, who doesn't need it/know, don't bother
Download: -not working-
FTF bundle. Place to flashtool\firmwares, in GUI select X8 SEtweak-pre1 FW and flash it.
FreeXperia logo instead of SE standard, and [email protected] instead of [email protected] are easiest way to see that you have custom kernel.
Forgot to note: this kernel has gingerbread ramdisk, meaning it's for GB ROMs! Maybe works on stock, but may won't be stable!
Will include:
* Cypress dualtouch
* Syaptics fake dual touch
* custom netfilter tables
* overclock
Standard SEtweak features:
* NTFS
* ext4
* swap
* USB OTG experimental
* tun/tap/CIFS
Best regards
Wow

I flashed my kernel and it works. However, [email protected] machine name persists.
Anyways, take a look at this:

I need to make some more tweaks, pack correct ramdisk and remove [email protected] machine/user name.
Will include:
* Cypress dualtouch
* Syaptics fake dual touch
* custom netfilter tables

@Superuser.Angga
You have a kernel?
And I think the driver Blagus was referring to is sdio.ko (commonly found in /system/lib/modules)
you need to replace wifi module.

Is it ever possible for a X8 kernel in the future to automatically convert /system, /data and /cache into ext4? Because I remember Galaxy Ace forums has a kernel that does this. Just a question .

Lol nice evaluation.
I've been too busy to follow these changes recently. Btw what do you mean by nand initialization. We need to fix nand detection or something?
Send from my GingerDX using XDA App
I talked to FXP about that NAND init. and it seems it wasn't actually SE's mistake, that's why kernel works after all and NAND init is fine.

hi blagus, im just wondering when you will be able to upload the new kernel? i dont mean to be hasty its just sony x10,x10mini and x10 are flying with thier new kernels and we seem to be lagging behind sum what. again i dont mean this in a nasty way and please dont take offence to this post im very supportive of yours and the other devs beautiful work please let us know soon thanks bro and great job

Being part of FXP, my SEtweak will be based on FXP's kernel from github repo, and I'll include recovery in ramdisk as well.
It will, however, be modified and will have standard SEtweak features listed in first post.

Hmm... S1Boot actually handles partitions so I'm not sure... also, yaffs2 FS is made specially for NAND flash chips in phones, so ext4 shouldn't give much boost - absolute need for ext4 conversion is present only on Samsung phones which use rfs by default, and that's quite slow.

Why would we need million of recoveries? CWM is just fine and enough, and supports restoring from xRecovery.

I guess that the problem is that some devs didn´t migrate to CWM, and if we switch to this ROM which is using only CWM, then we need to back to stock, install xrecovery and then the other ROM , since CWM doesn´t install zip files made for xRecovery.

Well, ask ROM dev to convert amend script to edify, or do it yourself with aZuZu's tool. I will not include xRecovery because CWM supersedes it and it's official FXP's recovery.

You can convert the zip for xRecovery to for CWM by a simple tool. Get it here
I had tested it, and it's really easy and works fine.

TIPS:
-If you are using doomkernel, you must flash wifi modules (check attachments)
-If you are having problem when downloading apps from playstore, download and run marketfix
-If you are having trouble with root in your rom with one of these kernels, install latest busybox, then update su binaries from within superuser app
WARNING:
Flashing kernel with different partition layout will make your current rom unbootable!!!
You must do factory reser (erase system and data) after flashing new kernel!!!!! MAKE BACKUP! Recommended way is to backup apps with "Titanium backup" or "Mybackuproot". You have been warned!
NOTE:
For easier wiping system and data, i've made batch file for windows users(it should help too if you are stuck in kernel logo and/or in recovery menu):
Download eraser.zip unpack anywhere in PC, and double-click on file "start.bat" when phone is fastboot mode to erase system and data partitions (best time to do it is right after flashing new kernel, but don't forget to select "factory reset" from recovery because ".android secure" folder from sd card must be erased too)

I've compiled Turbo Kernel (from 450344ebfc commit but still with cwm because on 175196a5ba commit cwm removed) with 400 gb system partition, some minor bugfix and bring back 720p support (though CosmicDan said it's buggy but I need 720p video recording). I haven't talk to CosmicDan yet to upload this kernel. I'll share the kernel both 720p and 480p after I got permission from CosmicDan.
edit: btw I can't pm @CosmicDan so @CosmicDan can I share your kernel mod? Thanks in advance

I still didn't try to compile turbo kernel, but if you had done it, just post link of kernel and source and i'll add it to OP.
I don't think you need explicit permission from CosmicDan because he will be given all the credits for making one of best kernel for Xperia Play

This was postd by COsmicDan in all his threads when he closed the threads. so I think you can post the kernel.. and just Credit to him.. I would love to see someone improving on the Turbo Kernel, while not messing with its original structure.. I mean the originality..

720p will not get nothing for our play..believe me..only consumes more ram as we dont have camera libs for it..not even on arcS and its better camera..even if you record on 1280x720p the fps are below( 640x480) 480p..so its a placebo effect..it seems recording but the quality indeed is inferior.

I admit, i didn't test jb kernel only (but it compiled without problem)
I think i know what is an issue (same reason it wouldn't work on other CM kernels).
For now, don't flash JB kernel (i'll delete from it OP) and i'll try to make it work
Ps: as i understand, you can enter recovery and flash rom? Did it even show kernel logo?
ps2: did you wiped system and data after/before flashing kernel?
sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question but the Q&A threads seem to only get "views" not replies.
will these work with the R800x with functioning network? id like to have a larger Data partition but it seems all the Kernels ive tried dont allow me to connect to my carrier (VZW).
thanks in advance.

I don't have r800x model, but i think it will not work for you. Maybe some r800x user can explain better why it will not work, but as i understand verizion firmware have locked vendor partition

Unfortunatelly, i wasn't able to fix it. I'm also stuck at boot animation.
Oh, well, i guess Lupus Jb v8 is only way to get bigger data partition on JB roms (that or arc s firmware flash)
Sorry guys for not testing this before published. Other versions are all tested and are working properly.
I don't know why Wedgess switch back to stock partition layout on JB v9+, but it must be good reason to do so.

yap I knew this but I still prefer 720p instead even though the quality might be worse than 480p and I'd like to share with the other member who want it.

The vendor partition is already unlocked for cdma. But not sure if those kernels will boot for us R800x users. It's one of those things you would have to just try.

2. Fastboot this kernel from here :- boot.img - 7.10 MB
3. Press volume + button when LED's light up in buttom
4. You can see bootmenu now

[Kernel][GB][Alpha]Doppler v1

This is the GB variant of Doppler
For now there ,only Governors ,Schedulers and O/C is added (courtesy, @wedgess) .Kernel is based of .84 sources
Currently this is in testing phase and boot images ONLY available for anzu and mango
Download : Mango
Anzu
Status:
Mango Boots
Anzu doesn't boot
This thread is pretty much in place to prevent chaos on the original ICS thread.
Unlike ICS ,GB uses /cache to download apps from playstore so partition Layout must be fixed .

I think DoomLord's ramdisk isn't compatible with your zImage, i tried full wipe on fastboot mode after flashing kernel, it just stuck at Kernel Logo & doesn't goes to recovery also.
you can try doing the same with LUPUS GB
Mention my name when u rebuild for Anzu, i will test
Just kicking the bucket.
How much /cache is required anyway.
50 MB is the apk limit so I think cache should be 56 MB (Multiple of 4 plus a buffer of 6MB)

While I've never used it myself (never a big fan of GB), I've read good things about the hyperbeam ROM by the same guy that made the ROM i'm using right now... might be worth a try...
incidentally, @karandpr, the abovementioned ROM is present twice in the ROM/Kernel index you maintain...
